Alex is a technology professional by day and a performing arts enthusiast by night, particularly interested in bridging the arts and business communities in creative and impactful ways. His tech/art double life began at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, where he received a degree in engineering while dancing and acting throughout his four years there. After graduation in 2010, he kept this up in Houston, TX, where he worked for an education technology nonprofit called Reasoning Mind while becoming well-acquainted with Houston’s performing arts community. He performed with a dance company called FrenetiCore, acted in local plays, helped organize the 2012 and 2013 Houston Fringe Festivals, served as a freelance dance writer for the Houston Press, and volunteered for Dance Source Houston and Houston Art Alliance’s Business Volunteers for the Arts program. In April, Alex moved back to the Bay Area (his original stomping grounds) to join an education technology startup called BloomBoard and to get involved in the Bay Area’s arts community. Outside of work and the arts, Alex enjoys rediscovering San Francisco as an adult and cheering on local sports teams.
